Up for sale are armories in the counties of Blair, Centre, Columbia, Elk, Franklin, Huntingdon, Lackawanna, Lancaster, McKean and Northumberland, as well as a weekend training site in Elk County used mainly for target practice.

The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs says the armories, built between 1904 and 1938, were once the heart of their communities but have been replaced by newer facilities.

The armories are listed on the National Register of Historical Places. Prospective buyers will pay a discounted price in exchange for preserving the exterior facades of the buildings for 25 years.
